That is usually in the best interests of the world as
well, because a strong, free America is good for the world (not to
mention a prosperous one as well).

Tell that to the innocents killed in Iraq.

I will tell you that we went to unprecedented lengths to avoid inflicting
civilian causualities in the invasion of Iraq.
|
That is not my understanding.

It is mine, and the policy of the US military WRT to that invasion.

Let’s put some fresh meat on these bones:
Iraqi civilian deaths
‘avoidable’
==+==
Human Rights Watch raises some serious questions about the way in which specific
weapons were employed. It strongly criticises the use of cluster munitions in
populated areas.
The bulk of these cluster-munitions were fired by US artillery systems and the
report says that the US Army needs to learn a lesson that the Air Force has
already adopted, namely that cluster munitions cannot be used in populated areas
without huge loss of civilian life.
The report also condemns the policy of so-called precision attacks against Iraqi
leadership targets. In 50 such strikes it says no Iraqi leaders were killed but
dozens of civilians were.
It points to significant intelligence failings.
“Its no good using a precise weapon ” said the organisation’s Executive Director
Kenneth Roth, “if the target hasn’t been located precisely”.
==+==
And it does not even touch on the deaths since “major combat operations ended”.
